Timeless Tuesday...Vintage

Vintage...hey you talking to me?? Well Timeless Tuesday is to use/be vintage. I only have to look in the mirror to get the picture of vintage...old, wrinkled, worn and sort of dirty around the edges from being handled too much ( miss that being handled part). So anyway I did this one for
the Tuesday challenge at none other then my favorite Flourishes. I've used their set Around the Arbor which I have to tell you is going to be another one of my favorite's. It's a set that just screams classy. I stamped with Memento's Rich Cocoa ( dumb way to spell coco) and just colored the trellis with a dull sense ( not at all hard for me) and by that I mean sort of a scribble with not much punch to the color so it looks kind of old and burned out. Used my Nestie for my cut, it's one of those #'s and did a double cut so I had the gold one in back by cutting it in half and just gluing to the top and bottom. MS punch and some polka dotted ribbon. I think this would make a great card for my vintage friend Clara who is turning 94 soon. You know vintage is really like antiquey and that's not all bad at all. Well happy week people. I'm still cleaning all the vintage out of my basement...vintage dead spiders is one of the gems I'm running across along with the vintage cob webbs. Ahhh this getting old and vintage is crap for the birds. See you soon.

Timeless Tuesday on Weds. as usual


Well I'm back to my old bad habits of being late for Timeless Tuesday for Flourishes.However; since I just got home from DD's place you need to cut me a little slack. I really love this angel image but did not do it justice and I am well aware of it. This card lacks something and I personally don't like the plain top and bottom of the image panel. Sometimes I use the excuse of getting old when things don't go my way and this is one of those times, so deal with it. I used my faithful colored pencils and a blender to color the heavenly broad who thinks she's Louie Armstrong playing the horn. Got news for her...nobody can play it like Louie! This is a Flourishes image I bought last Christmas time and would you believe it's my first stamping of it? Used my "new " Martha doiley punch for the border and I have to tell you these dang punches do NOT cut through card stock. They sent me one for free but it sucks just like the first one I bought and returned. Used a corner punch and added a few blingies but you already know that. Happy day to you all and I will return on Friday.
